Jiang Yingxue sighed softly, lowering her head to play with the tassels on the bed curtains. "My past life was miserable. I worked like a slave for the capitalists every day and finally died of exhaustion. In this new life, I became the daughter of a marquis. I thought I could pretend to be a rich girl for the rest of my life, living a free and happy life, eating, drinking and enjoying myself. I didn't expect..."

She raised her head, her eyes sweeping across the intricate carvings around the room, then landing on Yan Chuan: "This time, I've fallen directly into Luo Wei's devil's lair."

Yan Chuan smiled and turned his head to look at her: "So the rumors in the capital, that the weak and sickly beauty of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is fake?"

"Yeah, aren't you just pretending to be such a dandy?" Jiang Yingxue sighed, "But I didn't expect that I would almost die of illness while pretending. Come to think of it, I've died once before, and I almost died of illness before. Now I think it's not easy for me to survive until now. Thinking about it this way, I don't seem so scared anymore."

Yan Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at the ground: "It will be fine."

"How is that possible?" Jiang Yingxue glanced at Yan Chuan and said, "Do you remember what Qiu Zhida said at the door just now, asking us to cherish the present time? I guess that Luo Wei is thinking about how to torture us right now. When he finishes refining the pill, my good days will be over."

Yan Chuan said softly: "His target is me."

Jiang Yingxue slowly leaned against the bed frame, folded her arms across her chest, and lowered her eyes slightly: "It's true that he's targeting you, but if you don't obey him, he will definitely not let you go."

Yan Chuan pursed his lips, lowered his eyes slightly, and did not respond immediately.

The air was quiet for a moment. Jiang Yingxue blinked, looking incredulous: "No way, brother, do you really want to obey him?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chuan frowned slightly, as if thinking seriously for a moment, and then said very naturally: "Let's see if I can beat him later."

"What if we can't defeat him?"

"If you can't beat them, just join them."

No way, bro...

I've been so careful to pull you back from the path of evil.

Jiang Yingxue slapped her forehead suddenly and fainted. Was Yan Chuan someone who surrendered so easily?

Where is the famous and upright family that you promised to be?

She stared at Yan Chuan: "You joined just because you couldn't beat them? Are you so spineless?"

Yan Chuan smiled and said, "Yeah, what else?"

Jiang Yingxue immediately frowned, her eyes slightly complicated. "I thought you would rather die than surrender. What if you really become possessed by the devil? Wouldn't that make you an enemy of the righteous? By then, the entire Xianyun Sect will become your enemy. Aren't you afraid?"

"But in the book you read, am I not a bad guy?"

Jiang Yingxue paused when she heard this, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Anyway, I won't let you get hurt."

Yan Chuan still had a calm look on his face.

He sighed and lay down on the bed, his eyes fixed on the exquisite carvings on the ceiling. "This is too heavy to talk about. Let's change the subject and talk about something else."

Jiang Yingxue leaned against the bed frame, looking a little lazy.

She was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's get back to what we were talking about just now. You haven't answered me yet."

"what?"

"Why didn't you admit that you liked me before?"

Yan Chuan said helplessly, "I originally thought that after the Demon King descended into the world, I would probably die on the way to subdue the demon. If I admitted it, wouldn't that be a mistake for you?"

"Hehe..." Jiang Yingxue shrugged. "Don't worry this time. I might die even sooner than you."

After saying that, she seemed to feel that it all didn't matter anymore, and she also followed Yan Chuan and lay down.

Yan Chuan turned his head and looked at her profile quietly. He was silent for a moment before he whispered, "No."

Jiang Yingxue's eyes were still blank, and she replied lightly, "Of course you won't if you join them. It's hard for me to say. I don't know if my Lanxu technique can hold up. Speaking of which—"

She paused: "Do you remember the first time we met?"

Yan Chuan smiled dotingly and replied, "It's hard not to remember, right? What noble lady would allow someone to grab a sack and arrest someone in the street?"

"Hey, do you remember why I arrested you?"

Jiang Yingxue suddenly turned around and wanted to tease Yan Chuan, but she found that Yan Chuan had been looking at her...

The two of them suddenly looked at each other at this moment.

Yan Chuan was slightly startled, and before he could answer, he realized that the distance between them was too close, so close that he could almost feel Jiang Yingxue's breath gently brushing his cheek.

He blinked, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously.

His heart was beating so fast it was almost out of control, but he tried hard to look calm on his face.

"Forgot...forgot."

It’s not that I forgot, but the distance is too close now.

He was so nervous that even his breathing became disordered. He dared not look her in the eye and could only lower his eyes to hide his embarrassment.

"forget?"

Jiang Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, and the smile on her lips deepened a little.

She adjusted her posture, turned sideways, supported her head with her arms, and her long hair like ink fell on her shoulders, making her look more lazy and charming.

"I thought I was going to die, so I wanted to do something I had never done in this life or the previous one before I died." Her voice was a little lower, like a feather brushing past my ear, light and fluttering, but it touched my heart directly.

Yan Chuan's voice tightened slightly: "What?"

Jiang Yingxue smiled, her eyes curved into two pools of spring water: "I am going to sleep with the most handsome man in the world."

Yan Chuan swallowed and said "oh" slowly.

However, before he could fully recover, he felt a hand gently resting on his chest.

Her action was not abrupt, and could even be said to be extremely natural, but that light touch made Yan Chuan's breathing instantly disordered.

He lay there stiffly, as if his whole body was set on fire by her slender fingers.

Her fingers moved slowly, and her slender fingertips slid up from his chest little by little, like a naughty cat, with a subtle teasing.

Her hand finally stopped at his lips, and her fingertips gently touched his lips. The soft touch made Yan Chuan's brain completely blank.

"You know, I thought you were the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life. And I still think so now."

Yan Chuan looked up at her, his eyes a little flustered and a little at a loss.

"I don't believe you forgot."

As she spoke, she moved slightly closer, her nose almost touching his face.

At this moment, the ambiguity in the air was almost too thick to dissolve.

Yan Chuan was startled, took a deep breath, then turned his head away and squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "Stop making trouble..."

"Who's causing trouble?"

Jiang Yingxue pouted and turned his face back: "I'm serious, and I still am."
